Katherine’s POV

I pressed my body so close to the wall, that I practically flattened myself against it. I stopped breathing unconsciously, anxiously waiting for Ethan's footsteps.

It was scarily quiet but I waited a couple more beats before I started up the stairs.

Unfortunately, I stepped on the creaky step that had a spring loose, the sound echoing loudly in the quiet space.

Immediately, Ethan's lumbering form came around the corner and I squealed, bolting up the remaining stairs.

I ran into the hallway, spying the door of our bedroom from here and I pumped my legs harder in a bid to get there on time.

"Katherine, wait!" Ethan bellowed behind me, his voice way too close for comfort.

I ignored him of course and continued running, which fueled me to go further.

Distantly, I wondered if the people around weren't woken up by all the commotion, because I was confused as to why no one was coming to help me.

Then again...I'm not sure they'd dare to intervene.

    Caleb’s POV"Hey, have you seen anything yet?" I half yelled and half whispered. I paced back and forth on the ledge, half leery of the steep edge and half anxious as I waited for some news from above.And by above...I meant Daniel.Only the loon seemed to love me drowning in misery since he stubbornly refused to reply to any of my questions for the past ten minutes.His legs dangled from the small alcove a couple of feet above us, while the upper half of his body was somewhere I couldn't see.A couple of rocks skittered away from my feet and rolled down, down, down… into nothingness.The eerie silence following the rock's departure made me nervous, and I swallowed thickly.I inched closer to Daniel's legs and tapped his thigh.No response.So I shook the pant leg of his trousers"Daniel, anything?!" I squeaked out, andHe shook his behind in response and I moved back an inch, wary he was going to fart in my mouth.However, he wriggled some more, pulling his upper half slowly out of t

    Ethan’s POVwung the huge door closed, the sound startling Roy and making him look up. A wide smile crossed his face when he saw me, and he jumped up happily running to hug me."Roy, don't-" Sheila spoke up when she saw him running towards me but I held up my hand, silencing her.His small, chubby hands wrapped around the back of my thighs and I placed my hand on his head cradling his small body close to me.I used to be quite upset a bit after he was born that he wasn't mine, and I tried to push him away. However, I couldn't stay away for long due to his childlike innocence.Keeping my distance didn't work, only hurting me in the process so I just decided to love him. Contrary to what Katherine thinks, I would never harm a hair on this boy's head.Surprisingly, Roy took the move and the absence of his mother quite well. That might have been attributed to the fact that I kept on promising him that was going to come around."How's my little man doing?" A twinge of guilt sprang up when

    Katherine’s POVMy mind is made up.I licked my lips and bit the tips of my nails worriedly, thinking through what I was about to do.I rarely saw Ethan at home anymore and quite frankly, I don't even care anymore. All I wanted was my son and to get the hell out of here.I had been toying with the idea in my mind, but not until last night did I finally decide to go ahead with it.I was lying down, half asleep on the bed when I heard shuffling movements. Quickly, I shut my eyes and steadied my breathing, pretending to be asleep. Ethan stumbled into the room, smelling weird. The familiar smell of alcohol was wafting off him but that wasn't what caught my attention.It was the underlying scent of perfume.Not just any perfume, but a woman's. Sheila's.Horror clouded my mind for a moment as I pondered what Ethan might have done with her. I resisted the urge to vomit and in so doing my breathing changed, informing Ethan that I wasn't asleep anymore.Thankfully, he was too wasted to do anyt

    Katherine’s POVThey got out of the car and I saw them round the side of the car over to the back where I lay, still half paralyzed.They jerked the back door open, allowing the sun to stream into the open space. Someone reached out and dragged me forward like a rag doll before clamping one hand around my thigh and a meaty hand grabbed both my arms.Together, they hoisted me up from the vehicle and carted me to an unmarked building.It wasn't familiar as I hadn't seen it before. I tried to crane my neck looking for Ethan, hoping I could appeal to his senses but he was nowhere to be found.My brows wrinkled because I was sure I had seen him earlier before I passed out.Anyway, I focused ahead and tried to get as much detail about where they were taking me but they walked so fast it was hard to.It was an ugly brown, brick building with slightly overgrown weeds at the sides. It seemed abandoned and my theory was proven to be right when one of the men went ahead to jerk the door open for

    Caleb’s POVCooped up from staying indoors all the time, I glanced at my old, broken wristwatch once again annoyed that just one minute had passed from the last time I looked at it.The urge to get up and pace around was strong but I'd been doing that for the past one hour, and besides the space was too small for someone of my size. There was barely enough room to move around, but I guess I should be grateful. I had slept in worse places.Where was Daniel?I thought I'd gotten used to being alone but these past few months with Daniel has shown me that I've missed having company around. Now, I get antsy anytime he's away for too long.I understand that it was a necessary evil but that didn't mean I was comfortable with it.I had even suggested going out and looking around but he shut that suggestion down faster than I could blink.His reasons did make sense but I was jumpy letting him go out by himself without help. Even though he wasn't under my pack, I felt a need to protect him. I l

    Caleb’s POV"I've found her." Daniel's statement made me whip my head up so fast, that my neck spun wildly. I stood up so fast that my chair fell backwards from the sudden force.The past few days have been long and Daniel has been gone most of the time during the day to gather information. We did find out that his hunch earlier was correct and the person he saw was Katherine. The pack members at first refused to divulge sensitive information like that to Daniel, but gradually after some well-placed suggestions and money exchanging hands somewhere along the line, their lips were all too itchy to spill the tea.According to them, Daniel told me that Katherine was an ungrateful person and a thief. Unbeknownst to them, she had been giving Ethan grief for quite some while which was why Ethan was confined to the house. Someone she managed to slip through the guards and escape. But thankfully they saw her and chased after her, recapturing her easily.At first, I found it hard to believe my

    Caleb’s POVLuckily the shot didn't hit any of us. Daniel turned just in time so the bullet pierced his opponent's back.The guy dropped to the floor, and Daniel rushed at the man. I rolled on the floor, narrowly avoiding getting punched by a guard. The pain was still blinding but I breathed through it and got up, gingerly favoring my left leg. But I could feel the bones mending into place even as I hobbled around. One mean-looking brute of a man- the one who swung at me- judging by the way he carelessly flipped the bat in his hand came moving towards me and I ducked in time, hearing the whizzing of the bat gi over my head.I bent and tackled him to the floor, hoping he would cave but he was stronger than I had expected and just grunt in reaction. The next minute, I felt the hot sting of the bat on my back. I growled and let out my fangs. I bit into his chest causing him to howl in pain and drop the bat to the floor. I kicked at his knees and down he went. I finally finished him up wi

    Caleb’s POVKatherine groaned, pulling our attention to where she lay on the ground. She slowly came to and sat up rubbing her chaffed and swollen wrists as her eyes bounced from me to Daniel. She took Daniel in with a cautious eye,I took that as consent and took a step in front of her but she flinched away from me, halting me in my tracks.I quickly move back not wanting to alarm her any more than possible. Pressing one cool hand to her hand and the other on the floor, she stilled as she seemed to remember something. "What of my so-, of Roy?"I didn't have an answer for her so I just kept quiet. Daniel assured me that he checked around before we burnt the place to the ground and that he didn't see any baby or baby things loitering around.She noticed that her question was met with acute silence and looked up.Me and Daniel exchanged a worried glance and she mistook our expression for worry and her body jerked forward. "What happened?"I whip my head to face her. "Nothing. But you ca

    Katherine's POVAs both Caleb and I fell to the ground, funny enough I didn't feel anything different...maybe a wound or puncture or something.Nothing. I felt fine.Caleb immediately rolled off me, inspecting my body for damage but I waved him off with an 'I'm Fine' only for me to look further and see Tyrone's dead, sightless eyes staring up at me.I let out a sound that stemmed from my feelings of shock and horror. He was lying just at my feet with a bullet hole in his head.His face was even frozen in a surprised expression like he couldn't believe it. Pressing a hand to my mouth to retain the whimper, tears sprang up to my eyes.It occurred to me then that Tyrone had pushed us away to take the bullet for us.In other words, he died for us.If only I had listened to him, then he wouldn't be dead!The sound of engines snapped me out of my reverie, pushing me into action when I realized that his murderers were about to flee.Caleb tried to hold me back when I raised 'ready to kill ey

    Katherine’s POVI watched everything that happened from afar, too shocked to even move.Was Daniel dead?After Daniel had been placed on the stretcher and taken away, Caleb went berserk.As in spitting mad.I've never seen him so pissed off as he charged at the man that fired the gun which had pierced Daniel's chest.The guy didn't even stand a chance as Caleb pummeled him into the ground, practically tearing him from limb to limb.After that he went wild and started to tear into our opponents, the pain of watching Daniel almost die pushing him.While I was distracted, several men came towards me and one of them had changed into his wolf form.Snatching a grenade off a stash, I ran and threw it behind me because I knew there was no way I could fight them all at once.Unfortunately, I wasn't out of the blast radius yet, and the force of the blast threw me thirty feet into the air. I landed hard on a piece of metal torn off a car and it was painful.I could feel my enhanced healing kick

    Daniel’s POVI was on the sidelines when the war started, pretending to assist from the back. When those excuses ran out, I took charge of the men, ordering them to go batch by batch. I was doing everything possible in my power not to go out there.Not only did I not want to be seen as a traitor but the thought of killing and butchering the people I once called friends… turned my stomach.Being here alone made me feel sick but I didn't know how to get out of it without raising Ethan's suspicions.But when Shadow arrived with over two thousand of his men, I had no choice but when Shadow arrived, I had no choice but to fight alongside them. I left the back entrance, and I followed them to fight.Instead of fighting for Ethan, killing Caleb's people I was secretly helping Caleb's men by fighting against Ethan. I had just dodged a blow from one of Ethan's men, rolling to my feet about to stab him in the back when I saw Shadow coming out from Caleb's house with someone in tow. At first, I

    Shadow's POVThat kid was like me.That was.He was faster and dare I say, stronger than I was. It was scary to think and after I broke his left, I ran away.Because of two reasons.One I had other plans and two, there was a slight possibility that that kid could beat me in front of my men...it was slightly but I wasn't taking it.Sneaking into Caleb's house was pretty easy to do. Everyone was distracted with either saving their city or their lives, leaving the house wide open.My source informed me that this was the spot, so my steps were sure and measured. With my long coat hiding my build from others, I was able to blend in.There were three men at the entrance of the door. The one closer to me was the first to see me approach and he yelled in warning. Unfortunately for them, he was too slow, and by the time he finished uttering the words, his two colleagues were dead, one with a knife to his throat and the other with a bullet embedded into his forehead.The guy ran back in horror,

    Freya's POVIt took almost seven hours before I got close to Caleb's pack. Four hours by bus and three by running on land. Finally, I was close enough to hear it.The sound of violence was even louder than I expected and for a moment, I second-guessed all my decisions that had brought me here to this point.I hesitated, pressing my back to the big, rocky boulder that was behind me. I ducked my head and closed my eyes in fear when I heard an explosion rock the entire city. That was big!I didn't know how to feel, and running back the way I came from crossed my mind.I squashed the thought almost immediately. I was here already, no way I was going to run.Every pit stop made by the bus made me contemplate jumping down but I kept on pushing until I was here…Another explosion follows closely behind the first one, but this time even the boulder behind me shakes from the force.It's even closer than before. I raised my head to peep over the boulder, noticing that there were a couple of men

    Freya's POVI was sitting down in a dive bar slash restaurant at noon minding my business when the bell over the door chimed to announce people walking into the store.I turned to look at who had arrived just like everyone else in the place and saw two ladies chatting animatedly with hand gestures and the works.The relief was instantaneous, and my shoulders relaxed a bit. Even though I've been in a beautiful town called Cubanos just a couple miles south of Florida for two weeks, I've been anxious and tense whenever I've seen or spoken to anyone else. The first week was the worst and I'm sure I had people looking at me to find out what was wrong or being hesitant to walk up to me.I had just had this crazy feeling that either Ethan or Shadow was going to find me. It was so bad that I didn't step foot out of my room for the first three days until I was driven out by hunger.Quite pathetic.Even coming out here was factored in by a guy. I'd gone to the only supermarket this town boasted

    Katherine's POVMy body was light and weightless, almost paper-like in comparison.I didn't feel anything for some seconds until I crashed back to reality. My hearing was fuzzy, and things sounded distant. My breathing was erratic as I sought to control it.Turning to my side, pain sprang up the moment I moved my body and I whimpered. My entire side felt like it was being steam cooked.I was in agony as I couldn't even turn or move. The pain started to subside after some minutes, as my body started to heal itself. I must have blacked out because the next thing I saw was Caleb's face and he carried me through the city, avoiding heated zones so he could take me to the clinic.Unfortunately, the bouncing aggravated the pain I felt, and I screamed out loud. I kept on screaming until he dumped me on a bed and something sharp pricked my skin and I floated off. I was waking up and slipping back into unconsciousness as my body fought to heal all the damaged tissues. There were times it felt l

It passed and I was able to stand up without the fear of falling. I ran out the door and into the hallway to meet a total mess. Several pieces of furniture were turned upside down and the entire place in disarray.I could see masked men fighting, trying to get in but our men were holding them down. From here I had a clear view of what was going on outside and my stomach twisted

I immediately covered the plans I was looking at because right now I didn't know who to trust."There's someone who has something to tell you, sir." He moved out of the way to allow Enrique who had been undercover in Shadow's territory for a long time come through.I stood up the moment I saw him, my heart racing for several reasons. I wasn't expecting him, and it wasn't time for him to come home."What are you doing here?" I asked him, before remembering we had an audience. To Alvin, I said, "You can leave."We both waited until he left the room, the door locking softly behind him and until we could
